A new father is attempting to live solely off his wife's breast milk. The daddy blogger, known as Curtis, says his wife's overproduction of breast milk has filled up their freezer and is proving impossible to give away.
His enterprising solution to this problem is to drink the milk and eat nothing else, while writing about the unique experience on his blog – Don't Have A Cow, Man.
'I know how weird this may sound, it is kind of weird to me as well but why not? I mean cow milk was made for baby cows, why not drink human breast milk that was made for baby humans?' he reasons.
Curtis also said that the baby food has helped to rectify some digestive problems he was experiencing.
However, anyone who believes the nauseating diet could improve their own health should think twice before hitting the bottle.
Paediatrician Dr Tonse Raju, of the National Institutes of Health,
says that it is unlikely a diet consisting solely of breast milk would be sufficient to sustain an adult human.
'Human milk has evolved to support the baby's needs during the years of the baby's growth. When you begin to grow bigger, you have different needs,' he explained.
Though he remains anonymous, the blogger identifies himself as weighing 185 pounds and standing at 6 foot 4 inches – which means that he needs 2,000 calories a day, equal to 66 ounces of breast milk, to sustain.
The light-hearted blog has proven an unlikely source of controversy, with readers' comments highlighting the issue of breast milk shortage both in the US and abroad.
